Do any of you brew and then make your own iced coffee? Any tips aside from 'just add water and chill'?

Thanks for the responses....

You're best off using a toddy maker, and cold brewing. I use this one, which is essentially a giant french press:

So with this I would not need a filter at all? If I wanted to use this for hot coffee could I just place the mix over the stove (in a safe container)?

Looking for a good drip coffee maker, but can't drop $300 on a Technivorm?

Check out the $80 Zojirushi Fresh Brew.



  • Stylish automatic coffee brewer with 1.5-liter thermal carafe
  • Stainless-steel carafe keeps coffee hot for hours
  • 1025 watts; electronic clock/timer with preset function; auto shut-off for safety
  • Clever brew-and-serve lid design; easy-to-read water gauge
  • Measures 15 by 12 by 9 inches; 1-year warranty

Seems to perform better with chilled, not cold, water. Fits the normal gold cone filter if you should want that. Enjoy!

Are there other drip coffee makers you all could recommend? The amazon reviews on this gear make me pretty apprehensive.

What issues are the reviews talking about? There's a factory defect where the water leaks: just return it to Amazon, you'll know the first time you put water in it. The carafe needs to be lined up with the pouring nozzle too, but as long as you set it in there right its fine.

Mostly that and there were a few complaints about the temperature not being hot enough.
